Gold and Silver Price Action

2011-10-28T04:44:00.001-07:00

The European Debt Fiasco resulted in a short term deal - but what Stock Markets are missing is the fact it still leaves Greece with 120-150% Debt to GDP Ratio - and that's assuming everything goes well between now and 2025 !

The Gold market has reacted by buying Gold and Silver because reasonable investors know that this is a short term movement in the stock/bond markets and that the longer term trend in Gold and Silver is here to stay.

So definately keep looking at coins and bullion that you like and staying with the current trends until something major changes seems a rational decision. As always before entering any market for investment purposes speak to a professional advisor... simply because every persons financial objectives are different.

She brought order and cleanliness to the hospitals there becoming known as ‘The Lady with the Lamp’ as she tended the wounded at night. The £2 coin struck in her honour celebrates 150 years of nursing care with the background symbolising the rays of light from her lamp.

£2 Technology

Opinion Of The Gold/Silver Markets

2010-02-18T14:02:00.000-08:00

for Readers of our Blog you will be reminded we suggested buying these coins when Gold was trading around $920 ... now with Gold pulling back from its recent highs - it is highly recommended to look again at these investments. The US economy is spending more money and making more promises than it can possibly keep - at present everything is about Greece which will be a small story compared to what may happen with the US economy. So for the long term it may prove to be a very good idea to move into this area.

Also keep in mind most of these coins are limited editions - so they carry a value above the spot market. However if you prefer Gold and Silver Bullion that's no problem the Perth Mint produces those so you can buy from them and even store it with them if you like.

Gold/Silver Price

2009-08-05T04:51:00.000-07:00

Over the last few weeks both the Gold and Silver Prices have been increasing as such the price of the coins we have been listing has been rising as well. What does the future hold for these rates ?

There's resistance in Gold around 990 and then 1015 after that we are looking at 1500.

With the shape of the economy and projected risks to inflation both Gold and Silver are going to be sought after by investors for some time .... so if your interested in buying these collectable Gold and Silver coins then take advantage of any price dips to secure yours at the best possible price.

If you prefer to buy just Gold or Silver Bullion remember the Perth Mint is one of the regular suppliers and is available through the Perth Mint banners you see on the site.

Buying Gold Bullion

2009-07-24T07:51:00.001-07:00

Our Site mainly gives you illustrations of gold and silver coins with limited mintages that are both valuable and collectable.

However the Perth Mint also sells gold bullion, minted gold bullion and gold coins. You may wish to buy gold or silver for that matter for pure investment in the metals - and this is available for you as well.

The Perth Mint's coins are valued for their high quality finish and purity. Their legal tender status means their precious metal content is guaranteed by the Commonwealth Government of Australia. The smaller coins have limited mintages, giving potential for a numismatic premium to develop and their wide distribution makes them internationally recognised, facilitating easy purchase and liquidation.

The Perth Mint's bars appeal to investors looking for the lowest possible fabrication premiums. The 1kg gold, 400oz gold and 1,000oz silver bars are numbered, giving additional security. These bars are internationally recognised and tradable without the need for assay.
